Giggs Hill Green Conservation Area - T1: Yew (Taxus baccata) Height: Approx. 8m, Lateral Spread: Approx. 4m (one-sided), Proposed Works: Fell to Ground Level Reasonings: The Yew has been poorly pruned in the past, leaving little growth on one side and around 4 metres of growth extending on the opposite side toward the nearby housing. This has created a heavily imbalanced crown with little opportunity for sympathetic reshaping. Any further remedial pruning would only worsen the tree s appearance and structure, resulting in an even more unsightly form. The tree contributes very little to the wider amenity of the area, as it is largely screened from public view by the mature TPO-protected Yew and Cypress situated in front of it.

Land Side of Portsmouth Road Portsmouth Road Cobham KT11 2NH
Tree Preservation Order EL:18/07 - T1 - Horse chestnut - Proposed Works: Crown lift over the roadside only to provide a minimum clearance of 5.2 metres above ground level. All pruning shall be limited to secondary branches where practicable and carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, with a maximum pruning wound diameter of 50mm. Reason for Proposed Works: Following a tree survey, it was identified that the crown over the carriageway has been subject to contact from larger vehicles in the past. The proposed crown lift will provide appropriate clearance for high-sided vehicles, reducing the likelihood of future vehicle strikes and preventing unnecessary damage to the tree, whilst retaining its long-term health and amenity value.
